// `HttpRule` defines the mapping of an RPC method to one or more HTTP
// REST APIs. The mapping determines what portions of the request
// message are populated from the path, query parameters, or body of
// the HTTP request. The mapping is typically specified as an
// `google.api.http` annotation, see "google/api/annotations.proto"
// for details.
//
// The mapping consists of a field specifying the path template and
// method kind. The path template can refer to fields in the request
// message, as in the example below which describes a REST GET
// operation on a resource collection of messages:
//
// ```proto
// service Messaging {
// rpc GetMessage(GetMessageRequest) returns (Message) {
// option (google.api.http).get = "/v1/messages/{message_id}/{sub.subfield}";
// }
// }
// message GetMessageRequest {
// message SubMessage {
// string subfield = 1;
// }
// string message_id = 1; // mapped to the URL
// SubMessage sub = 2; // `sub.subfield` is url-mapped
// }
// message Message {
// string text = 1; // content of the resource
// }
// ```
//
// This definition enables an automatic, bidrectional mapping of HTTP
// JSON to RPC. Example:
//
// HTTP | RPC
// -----|-----
// `GET /v1/messages/123456/foo` | `GetMessage(message_id: "123456" sub: SubMessage(subfield: "foo"))`
//
// In general, not only fields but also field paths can be referenced
// from a path pattern. Fields mapped to the path pattern cannot be
// repeated and must have a primitive (non-message) type.
//
// Any fields in the request message which are not bound by the path
// pattern automatically become (optional) HTTP query
// parameters. Assume the following definition of the request message:
//
// ```proto
// message GetMessageRequest {
// message SubMessage {
// string subfield = 1;
// }
// string message_id = 1; // mapped to the URL
// int64 revision = 2; // becomes a parameter
// SubMessage sub = 3; // `sub.subfield` becomes a parameter
// }
// ```
//
// This enables a HTTP JSON to RPC mapping as below:
//
// HTTP | RPC
// -----|-----
// `GET /v1/messages/123456?revision=2&sub.subfield=foo` | `GetMessage(message_id: "123456" revision: 2 sub: SubMessage(subfield: "foo"))`
//
// Note that fields which are mapped to HTTP parameters must have a
// primitive type or a repeated primitive type. Message types are not
// allowed. In the case of a repeated type, the parameter can be
// repeated in the URL, as in `...?param=A&param=B`.
//
// For HTTP method kinds which allow a request body, the `body` field
// specifies the mapping. Consider a REST update method on the
// message resource collection:
//
// ```proto
// service Messaging {
// rpc UpdateMessage(UpdateMessageRequest) returns (Message) {
// option (google.api.http) = {
// put: "/v1/messages/{message_id}"
// body: "message"
// };
// }
// }
// message UpdateMessageRequest {
// string message_id = 1; // mapped to the URL
// Message message = 2; // mapped to the body
// }
// ```
//
// The following HTTP JSON to RPC mapping is enabled, where the
// representation of the JSON in the request body is determined by
// protos JSON encoding:
//
// HTTP | RPC
// -----|-----
// `PUT /v1/messages/123456 { "text": "Hi!" }` | `UpdateMessage(message_id: "123456" message { text: "Hi!" })`
//
// The special name `*` can be used in the body mapping to define that
// every field not bound by the path template should be mapped to the
// request body. This enables the following alternative definition of
// the update method:
//
// ```proto
// service Messaging {
// rpc UpdateMessage(Message) returns (Message) {
// option (google.api.http) = {
// put: "/v1/messages/{message_id}"
// body: "*"
// };
// }
// }
// message Message {
// string message_id = 1;
// string text = 2;
// }
// ```
//
// The following HTTP JSON to RPC mapping is enabled:
//
// HTTP | RPC
// -----|-----
// `PUT /v1/messages/123456 { "text": "Hi!" }` | `UpdateMessage(message_id: "123456" text: "Hi!")`
//
// Note that when using `*` in the body mapping, it is not possible to
// have HTTP parameters, as all fields not bound by the path end in
// the body. This makes this option more rarely used in practice of
// defining REST APIs. The common usage of `*` is in custom methods
// which don't use the URL at all for transferring data.
//
// It is possible to define multiple HTTP methods for one RPC by using
// the `additional_bindings` option. Example:
//
// ```proto
// service Messaging {
// rpc GetMessage(GetMessageRequest) returns (Message) {
// option (google.api.http) = {
// get: "/v1/messages/{message_id}"
// additional_bindings {
// get: "/v1/users/{user_id}/messages/{message_id}"
// }
// };
// }
// }
// message GetMessageRequest {
// string message_id = 1;
// string user_id = 2;
// }
// ```
//
// This enables the following two alternative HTTP JSON to RPC
// mappings:
//
// HTTP | RPC
// -----|-----
// `GET /v1/messages/123456` | `GetMessage(message_id: "123456")`
// `GET /v1/users/me/messages/123456` | `GetMessage(user_id: "me" message_id: "123456")`
//
// # Rules for HTTP mapping
//
// The rules for mapping HTTP path, query parameters, and body fields
// to the request message are as follows:
//
// 1. The `body` field specifies either `*` or a field path, or is
// omitted. If omitted, it assumes there is no HTTP body.
// 2. Leaf fields (recursive expansion of nested messages in the
// request) can be classified into three types:
// (a) Matched in the URL template.
// (b) Covered by body (if body is `*`, everything except (a) fields;
// else everything under the body field)
// (c) All other fields.
// 3. URL query parameters found in the HTTP request are mapped to (c) fields.
// 4. Any body sent with an HTTP request can contain only (b) fields.
//
// The syntax of the path template is as follows:
//
// Template = "/" Segments [ Verb ] ;
// Segments = Segment { "/" Segment } ;
// Segment = "*" | "**" | LITERAL | Variable ;
// Variable = "{" FieldPath [ "=" Segments ] "}" ;
// FieldPath = IDENT { "." IDENT } ;
// Verb = ":" LITERAL ;
//
// The syntax `*` matches a single path segment. It follows the semantics of
// [RFC 6570](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6570) Section 3.2.2 Simple String
// Expansion.
//
// The syntax `**` matches zero or more path segments. It follows the semantics
// of [RFC 6570](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6570) Section 3.2.3 Reserved
// Expansion.
//
// The syntax `LITERAL` matches literal text in the URL path.
//
// The syntax `Variable` matches the entire path as specified by its template;
// this nested template must not contain further variables. If a variable
// matches a single path segment, its template may be omitted, e.g. `{var}`
// is equivalent to `{var=*}`.
//
// NOTE: the field paths in variables and in the `body` must not refer to
// repeated fields or map fields.
//
// Use CustomHttpPattern to specify any HTTP method that is not included in the
// `pattern` field, such as HEAD, or "*" to leave the HTTP method unspecified for
// a given URL path rule. The wild-card rule is useful for services that provide
// content to Web (HTML) clients.
